Working with a variety of materials my artistic practice draws from everyday experiences, common objects, and routines. In contrast to the culturally conditioned ties between happiness and normalcy, I am motivated by seemingly undesirable experiences such as failure, frustration, or discomfort. Control, lack of control, improvisation and chance are strategies I use in the making of sculpture, video and photography.

Her videos have been screened in international film festivals and she exhibits regularly in Ontario and Quebec with occasional production support from funding agencies and art institutions in the region. She currently resides in Old Hull, Quebec among other artists and benefits from skill sharing and collaboration amongst her peers.
